Ecchi’s official definition is:
“A genre, especially of anime and manga, featuring playful, tongue-in-cheek usage of sexualized imagery and situations such as double entendre or flirtation, while remaining non-pornographic. Often used to differentiate from hentai which features overt sexual themes.”
Or the simpler version, I call it “diet” hentai or a strip tease. That’s what keeps the genre ticking over.
In 2024, this was only proven yet again with the amount of anime searches, doujinshi material, trending content, and everything ecchi related that people anticipated and even enjoyed in the end.
Let’s highlight ecchi searches that were popular in this post, according to the biggest treasure trove of DATA on the internet.
Here’s a list.

Popular ecchi searches in 2024:
1. konomi ja nai kedo mukatsuku ane to aishou batsugun ecchi
While not an ecchi, this hentai series was still one of the most searched by ECCHI fans in particular, among the other searches mentioned in this post.
This hentai can explained this way:
“Konomi Ja Nai Kedo follows two siblings whose constant fights since adolescence take an unexpected turn when they realize their growing sexual attraction to each other.”
This is hentai, but it’s not as lewd compared to some of the more heinous, controversial hentai that exist.

2. Gushing over Magical Girls
Gushing Over Magical Girls – this is arguably the most famous ecchi anime show of 2024, so it’s no wonder why it was one of the most popular searches of the year.
The anime definitely has cliches but it does take advantage of this and uses it for comedic purposes, and of course, the anime has gone on to become appreciated because of its comedy and differences.
The plot can be explained this way:
“Utena Hiiragi adores the magical girls of Tres Magia, who protect her town. But when a mysterious mascot grants her the power to transform, she’s recruited as a villain instead. Forced to battle her idols, Utena soon discovers a twisted pleasure in their suffering—turning her admiration into a sadistic obsession.”
Utena is the one with purple hair.
The anime is a “horny” take on magical girls without the obvious seriousness you’d see in shows like Puella Magi Madoka Magica or the anime Magical Girl: Spec Ops Asuka.

3. Tales of Wedding Rings
Convnience is the name of the game when it comes to various ecchi style shows or romance. And “Tales Of Wedding Rings” doesn’t differ in this way.
In a nutshell:
“Sato’s best friend, Hime, is set to marry in her home world, but he crashes the wedding—only to end up as the groom! Now bound by fate, he must become a legendary hero. But is this too much for a high schooler to handle?”
He ends up the groom by being kissed by Hime, the latter being a word that translates to “princess”, by the way.
The usual blushes, embarrassing moments, and other cliches known in this style of writing can be seen. But it was the most searched ecchi of 2024 among others on this list for its own reasons.
4. Chained Soldier
Chained Soldier is one of those ecchi shows where the main character ends up somewhere he shouldn’t be, similar to Campione, and by the end of the first episode, wins himself “a hot girl” for very convenient reasons.
Or as the plot puts it:
“Monstrous beings from the Mato dimension endanger Earth, and only women blessed with powers from Peaches can stand against them. To protect the world, Yuuki must submit to Chief Kyoka—both in battle and in daily life.”
Cliches like this are common in various ecchi shows, and Chained Soldier, specifically for the ecchi category, seemed to rack up the searches in 2024.
5. Keijo
Keijo is an absolute classic in the ecchi space. It’s known among ecchi fans for its use of honour and comedy.
After all, what kind of anime categorizes itself as “sports” when the sports in question is women playing booty-ball?
Women bashing their asses against other women’s asses, and taking it seriously to come out as the winner. It has comedy written all over it (but with lots of eye candy and aesthetics to please).

6. takashi-kun no mama to kakurenbo ecchi
Other than the fact this is a Doujinshi, exclusive to the internet, there isn’t much else information about it.
But for whatever reason, it gained TRACTION among ecchi searchers in the year of 2024!
7. Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
Two girls kissing passionately, what could this ecchi anime possibly be about that caused MANY to search for it?
Story:
“Mamori, an inexperienced girl, and also a virgin in the story, arrives on a mysterious island where she must engage in battles using special powers. But those powers, embarassingly, can only be awakened through intimate interactions with the other girls on the island.”
As can be seen from the description AND the image, Yuri action is to be expected from this “most searched ecchi” of the year 2024!
It’s clear to see why the anime has appeal, or I should say, why ecchi fans searched for it and found it appealing in the first place.

In the end, the top 5 countries who contributed to these TOP searches (Bolivia, Cuba, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines), as well as anime like Gushing Over Magical Girls can’t be ignored in this list.
Though overall, there are many contributing factors (like more countries such as Malaysia), and the timing of some of these releases.
